4 inch scale Foster agricultural engine

An early stage 4 inch scale Foster agricultural engine, comprising:

  • Welded steel boiler with expanded tubes
  • Rear wheels and back axle
  • Front wheels, axle, perch bracket and smokebox assembly
  • Part-machined crankshaft
  • Machined cylinder block with valve chest and cylinder covers
  • Machined flywheel
  • Machined trunk guide
  • Machined brass hub caps
  • Assorted unmachined castings, including brake and steering wheels
  • Several sheets of drawings

There is a small blow hole in the regulator cavity of the cylinder casting.

The welded steel boiler appears well made, however we have no paperwork other than two welder's certificates which the previous owner - a man now in his ninth decade and, with a house move pending, having a clearout of projects - passed on to us.
